He wants to go from a closer who recorded 85 saves in 99 chances over the last three seasons into the Cubs rotation as a starter. Dempster's goal will be to pitch 200 innings, a plateau he reached three times while a starter with the Marlins and Reds from 1998-2003. "Dempster wants to start. We're going to let him compete.
